Save our Dish

The Parkes Observatory in NSW, affectionately known as The Dish, and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) near Narrabri may face closure due to the Liberal Government's cuts to CSIRO.

This shadow hanging over CSIRO’s astronomy division is another reminder of why science is such an important battleground in this federal election campaign.

Voters have a choice between the vandalism wrought on CSIRO by the Turnbull Government, with one in five scientists sacked and more jobs being cut right now, and a clear commitment from Labor to begin reversing that damage.
